Geography

Being a village school that is in close proximity to the beautiful coastlines of Torbay and set amongst rolling hills and agricultural land, using our locality is central to our geography curriculum at Berry Pomeroy.  From Reception, children discover features of their immediate environment.  This is built upon in Year 1 with identifying features of our village location, deciding what human features we are missing and would benefit from, then making  mapped proposals of improvements to our local council. Children leave Berry Pomeroy as confident geographers that have developed a sense of agency and responsibility, as well as pride in their local community with the necessary skills and knowledge of their local area and global issues to progress to their next phase of education.
